It's in the Cards
I was playing Spit with one of my best friends that I've known since SECOND grade when I realized...
LIFE IS A CARD GAME. Shuffled and random, but controllable. To win the game, you have to focus on your own business, but not completely ignore your challengers'. If you lose, you can always start up another game. RE-MATCH OR MOVE-ON. Whatever you decide, you have gained experience that will help you the next time against -- with -- whoever you let into your life. Even once you do win, however, know that life goes on. The card game... goes on. So try not to obsess about the game too much. There'll be plenty more.
